Re: groups.io will not accept a group's member's e.mail forward from gmail

ok i will try that....

but what I dont understand is that NOW (Condition 2 of my original post: 510 5.1.1 Your email address, forwarding-noreply@..., is not subscribed to that group. To subscribe, send an email to [email protected], or visit /g/p7j3q9k5)
groups.io is complaining that the gmail-sent email to confirm mom's new membership is not related to her email but rather forwarding-noreply@....

What you are saying is to log into my mom's groups.io and create an alias of forwarding-noreply@....

That just doesn't seem right either. What alias will I use for another, new group member that I want to forward their gmail to the group? It will report the SAME forwarding-noreply@......

Based on these facts how does ANYONE trying to forward a gmail to a groups.io work at all?

No one has addressed these facts. No one has addressed the fact that I have gmail forwards to some of my other groups that were created long ago do NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM and no aliases and they work fine!

Something bad has happened at gmail and or groups.io that has broken this and no one has addressed this.

Long ago I moved all my goggle groups to groups.io and many had gmail forwards and NONE of them had this problem. Why can't someone explain why this is broken now and how to fix it. I dont have any "alias" for any of all these I setup long ago....

thanks for trying.

True -if added to the group as a separate account-, but if you had a paid*** group you could direct-add her so no confirmation email would be sent out. (*** or setup an integration as Bruce mentioned)

But the alias part is no worry, there are no confirmation emails sent to an alias since it's not a regular account but just a nickname, so no group emails or whatnot will ever go to that alias. Aliases just allow someone to post something from a different email address but when posted it looks like it came from the main address, not the alias. All group messages (if this account was setup to receive them) would go to the main address, not the alias.


I dont know how to create an alias. I did some searching but didnt find it.

That info would be in the User manual, not the Owner manual, it's in here. You need to be logged in as her, go to the upper right of screen where the account settings are, all the way down click on Aliases, add the address and save.
